Remington 03 target rifle!!!

Converted 03's were still very popular in high power when I started shooting in 1965. A lot of guys kept with them for their whole career in the sport. You started seeing less and less of them in the 80's I would say.

I think it's only because Winchester made a "new" Model 70 short action (.308/.243/7mm-08) and the rifle was an easier to build, barrel, and accurize than the '03 platform.

Here is mine. It has old-time yellow bedding that is kind of falling apart. A Timney trigger.

Looks almost like a CG-63 stock.

Stock is a Bishop Challenger or Champion. Whichever it is, I have the opposite one on the first 03A3 match rifle that I built 45 years ago.

Bob, It is a Bishop and it is an o3/A3. Who ever put this rifle together sure knew what they were doing. I really hate to part with it but somethings have to go to make roon for others. The trigger on this rifle breaks cleaner than any other rifle I've fired.
